My web site

Tue Jun 9, 2009, 8:35 AM
I have a rather large web site - [link] - cobbled together over the course of about a decade, with diverse content and no real coherency to the same thing. I've been planning on overhauling it radically for quite some time, thinking I'll probably migrate most of it to Drupal, but I don't really know Drupal yet... [link] contains my efforts to date. It seems to be much harder to get started with than WordPress, which I know reasonably well, and which I already use for three active, bloggy sub-sites: [link] for general things that fascinate me, [link] for my sculptures, and [link] for my generative art.

So I have a few things bouncing around in my head here...
(1) How can I bring a sense of coherence to the whole site? Can I do that at all, in fact? And is it worth it? Should I maybe bring all my content under the rubric of one of the blogs? Should I add another one for photography? Should I design myself a logo?
(2) Should I keep plugging at Drupal? How long will it take me to get something together that I can really use for everything I currently have in static HTML pages?
(3) Is the current shape of my site actively putting off potential employers? Is there too much of me in there? And if so, should I make a separate, ';professional' site? And if so, which profession(s) should it be aimed at?!

As you can see, quite a mess of stuff in there. You guys are all creative, right? Do many of you have your own web site? If so, how do you manage the personal/creative/professional boundaries, if you respect them at all?

Thanks for the faves.
Hey, I've been reading your comments back over the Jesus is a gay black hippie jew design. I really like your responses, and despite the content that I don't quite agree with, I think its really sad that some "Christians" are being totally hypocritical and shouting abuse at you and swearing whilst saying they love the Lord. Its such a shame, and its people like that that give the rest of us such a crappy name. so I just wanted to say, have a great day. xx
Thanks. It's been a really interesting exercise for me, politely fielding the questions and occasional rage thrown at me by visiting Christians (where I define 'Christians' to include anyone who defines themselves as such...)
awesome gallery, you seem like a cool person :)
